Children's Museum starts year with circus

The circus came to the Children's Museum at La Habra for its Target Free Day on Saturday.

The free admission days are held the first Saturday of each month – for January Circus Joy performed and taught children talents such as plate spinning and juggling. Next month will be an art bazaar.

Currently, the museum is accepting children's artwork of themselves enjoying their favorite exhibit or activities while visiting the museum. One submission will be chosen to decorate a card for the museum's 35th anniversary. Drawings are due Jan. 24.
